So here we are, with a new iPad Pro to check out – one that’s insanely powerful, with an overhauled design, an improved screen, and a slew of added extras.
Apple has needed to improve the iPad Pro since the launch of the original, and this is the tablet that it said it wanted to make. It’s a smaller device with a larger screen, bags of power, and an Apple Pencil that it’s not so darned easy to lose.
These were all things the tablet needed in order to make it a true device for the professional user, and Apple has delivered. So here we are with the iPad Pro 11-inch (or iPad Pro 11, to you and us), which aims to fix the various issues the first Pros had.
Indeed, Apple has called this new model ‘the iPad we wanted to make from the beginning’ – but while this is easily the best tablet Apple has ever made, there’s a big question as to whether the ‘average’ user will get enough benefit out of the new iPad Pro to warrant the extra cost over the newest ‘basic’ iPad, launched earlier this year.
iPad Pro 11 price and release date
You’ve also got a variety of storage capacity options, so let’s break down the pricing. That starting price above is for the Wi-Fi-only version with 64GB of storage on board.
The next storage size up is 256GB, which starts at $949 / £919 / AU$1,449, followed by 512GB for $1,149 / £1,119 / AU$1,749. Top of the heap is the 1TB version, which costs a whopping $1,549 / £1,519 / AU$2,349.
Note that all the above prices are for the Wi-Fi-only version of the slate – if you want to add cellular connectivity you’ll need to shell out an additional $150 / £150 / AU$200.
The new iPad Pro 11 is available to pre-order now, and the release date is set for November 7.
